Cut in Darkness

De: Heather Sunseri

Narrado por: Emily Sutton-Smith, Alan Smyth

After dozens of Lexington, Kentucky's forgotten - mostly prostitutes and the homeless - swamp local hospitals from apparent overdoses over the Fourth of July weekend, Kentucky cops soon discover a new synthetic form of heroin is infecting their communities, and that gangs - namely the outlaw motorcycle gang Samael's Army - are responsible for using a "disposable" population to test the new drug.

Soon after, the deadly new drug claims the daughter of a US senator, and FBI Director Jack Waller assigns Brooke Fairfax to the case. Because the synthetic opioid was created in a lab, the feds turn to the expertise of billionaire chemist Declan O'Roark, who is all too happy to lend a hand if it will bring him closer to Brooke.

As Brooke and Declan are forced to work together, Declan attempts to tear down the barriers around Brooke's heart. But when Brooke gets drawn into the depths of the outlaw motorcycle gang she's investigating, she and Declan both fear for her life.

Great book

Great book with interesting characters and storyline. Can't wait to start the next book in this series.

Just ok

The story line was better than the book before it but it’s odd when the female narrator reads she gives the character an Irish accent but when the male narrator reads the character for himself he speaks American. So it seems pointless..none the less it’s just ok and it’s free so I don’t feel as I wasted a credit.

Great addition to series

A blend of mystery, light thriller and romance a lot like the Julie Garwood Buchannan series. Revolves around Brooke a FBI agent, her cases and her rich,hot, swoony Irish boyfriend. Brooke can be a hard head and thinks she can take care of herself. Declan loves her and keeps trying to keep her safe as she gets in way over her head in a crime involving a dangerous motorcycle gang.
Liked this book way more than the first one (which was pretty good). Love the side characters, her new work partner/best friend and Brooke's job as an analyst which is very interesting. She continues to find people in high places involved in the crimes.

Another awesome story!

I can't say enough how much I love this series. This installment was just as captivating as the first two. I enjoyed everything about it including the narration.

I liked it, but still have questions

Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?

Yes and no. Who drugged the Senators daughter? Who is moving drugs that kill in the community? These are the plots to solve. The intrigue was there, but everything wasn't cleared up to my satisfaction. We presume the death was an accident, we find that greed and power were involved..was the Senator involved? Who killed the girls? Who were the dead bodies in the truck? Was it Gray that cooked up the batch of drugs? Did he really have the knowledge to do so? The story wasn't as wrapped up as I thought it should have been.

Any additional comments?

I enjoyed the book. This was the first time I've had dual readers and I'm not sure that was necessary. Emily was great, Irish accent and all. Alan was fine, but his reading of Declan was adequate, but I liked Emily's better. I would have rated the performance a 3, but Emily's performance swayed me ☺️

I was left a little unsatisifed about the conclusion. Some things weren't clearly settled in my mind. Brooke made many stupid decisions that I felt as FBI she should have known better..she was a bit reckless..and we never heard anything more about Demetri. It's possible that these questions could continue into the next book.
